  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

  • Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top; bake at 325°F for 55-60 minutes.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
Don't skip the water bath—it really does make a difference in preventing cracks.
For a quick chill, place the cheesecake in the freezer for 1-2 hours instead of the fridge.
Store leftovers in an airtight container; the cheesecake stays fresh for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, you can freeze the cheesecake for up to 2 months after wrapping it tightly.
